Sumter 01


Summary:

The Sumter 01 school district in South Carolina consists of 24 schools, including 15 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 3 high schools, serving a predominantly economically disadvantaged and racially diverse student population. While the district as a whole is underperforming compared to other districts in the state, there are several standout schools that are achieving strong academic results.

Among the top-performing schools in the district are Alice Drive Elementary and Millwood Elementary, which rank among the best elementary schools in the state. At the middle school level, Hillcrest Middle stands out with the highest proficiency rates on state assessments. While Sumter High School is the lowest-ranked high school in the district, it still performs better than the district average on end-of-course exams.

The Sumter 01 district faces significant challenges, with stark disparities in academic achievement between the highest and lowest-performing schools. Schools with the highest poverty levels, as indicated by 100% free/reduced lunch rates, tend to have the lowest academic performance. However, the presence of some high-performing schools suggests there are opportunities to learn from and replicate successful practices across the district to improve outcomes for all students.
